TUAW is reporting that Zeno, a writer for Macplus has managed to get Front Row running on his Mac mini. He's even recorded a video as proof of Front Row running on his Mac mini.

Zeno told TUAW - "Front Row transition effects run smooooth on the Mac mini (keep in mind there's no G5 in the mini and it only has 32MB of vram). First time you launch it, you'll be blown away, that's for sure. - Front Row can be controlled from the keyboard (4 arrow keys, space bar and escape) - As you can see in the video, I managed to remote-control Front Row from my SonyEricsson K700 via Bluetooth: using one of the built-in Bluetooth HID profile (no Salling Clicker needed, even if, of course, you could do that with Salling Clicker too) - Because of those 'tweaks' (ok, call them 'hacks') Front Row on the Mac mini is not working 100% properly (Videos and Photos were ok, but had some problems with DVD and Music)"

Admin Note: You may discuss the Front Row application, but you can not ask for copies or distribute copies. These sort of posts will be deleted from the thread. Distributing Front Row is illegal.

I wasn't even sure how it worked last night. I thought you had to use the mouse or something. It sounds like the keyboard gives you most of the controls. I hope Apple decides to include Front Row with iLife 06. I still want that little remote and for it to be stable._________________My Setup

to much effort i can't get it to control anything but I am not sure if the mappings were set up right for it. there a lot of the advanced map settings that i don't fully understand so I am going to play with a little more.
